Students can provide recommendations on developing a pay and/or benefits system that is a good fit for your organization and helps attract and retain good workers.

Project Examples

Requirements

Some ideas include:

  • Researching best practices for compensation and/or benefits that are evidence-based and would be a good fit for your organization (note: this is a Canadian class, so topics about legally-required benefits outside of Canada would be out of scope!).
  • Researching specific compensation and benefit issues: (e.g. individual and/or group incentives, non-financial rewards, work-life balance initiatives (like flexible work, compressed work weeks), tools and resources to support employees (wellness benefits, leaves, educational benefits, lactation policies, and so on).
  • Anything else that would fit within the class, meet the needs of your organization, and be a good experience for students.
